Ronald "Gonzoe" Moore, who was known for his affiliation with Ice Cube and 2Pac, has been shot dead at the age of 45.

Gonzoe was hit three times in front of a Seattle bowling alley/casino Thursday evening.  He was able to stumble to a nearby Shell station, where he collapsed.  First responders weren't able to save him.

A bullet-ridden vehicle was found next to the bowling alley.  The police haven't identified any suspects.

Ice Cube signed Gonzoe's rap trio Kausion in 1995.  However, Gonzoe would fall out with Cube over royalties and jumped ship to Death Row as a solo artist, where he became tight with 2Pac.  Pac and Gonzoe toured together, recorded three songs together, and Gonzoe was announced as a member of Pac's group Outlawz after Pac's death.

Now Gonzoe is gone too.  RIP.
